In the olde days, we'd have been there with tar and feathers.

What he doesn't say is that the only bused-in groups were organized by his own party's professional protesters who recruited a bunch of premature hags at the Womens Studies Center at GWU. Even if he's aware of that, he probably doesn't know that they could never put in more than half a day for him, and their cosmetic protesting was drowned by the spontaneity and joy demonstrated at Cheney's corner of 34th & Mass.
Our protesters were the most civilized, polite and spontaneous as any ever in the world. The Washington Times gives a great honor to your work, Krstinn, and that of Angelwood, and JV & JVB and the others:
Specifically, the protests were started by the "Freepers" on Free Republic (www.freerepublic.com), "an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism."They weren't organized by you, they were started by you. You folks led, you didn't march. You gathered, you didn't organize. You showed us, and we came. This protest just happened. And, boy, you never saw such a bunch of people who'd never held a picket in their hands in their lives!
The "all night" thing is piss. Most of my visits there were after ten o'clock at night, and there were generally only a few folks down there, hanging out, waving signs, and just being there to make the statement. There was no "all night" chanting. In fact, the only noise made at night came from cars that honked for or against as they passed.
The most notable thing about it, Al, is that normal Americans were there. I bet you'd recoil at this remark, Al. I bet you'd call me a racist and, OMG, not "inclusive" for saying that. Sorry, Al, we weren't "normal" because we didn't look like a Democratic caucus. We weren't "normal" because we weren't homosexuals or minorities. Maybe we were, or maybe there was so-called "diversity" among us; I don't know, because I didn't do a census. Nobody cared "who" we were, because we were all nobodies. We were "normal" because we were ordinary people who live ordinary lives who were so fed up with you that we were inspired to tell it to the world.
I had to explain this to a Telemundo reporter who couldn't grasp that our protest was not being run out of Midland, Texas. In my poor Spanish I showed her around to see the people there, people you'd find anywhere, or nowhere, people who had never done anything like this before in their lives.
The most normal thing about us, and this is, indeed, Al, most abnormal in this world, is that we were Americans doing what Americans do and exercising our rights. Maybe that's abnormal to you, Al. Whatever it is, thank God for it, and I'm glad you've come out to affirm our victory.
Oh, one more thing, Al, and I'll never forget this. At the end of each day, late at night, there was an amazing sight. At the corner across from us, there were piles of pickets and trash. Our side of the street was clean. Yes, Al, we cleaned up after ourselves, just like we did with you.
